Product Description
In this revolutionary work -- a landmark that signals the true beginning of feminist medicine -- a doctor, a philosopher, and a scientist prove that by postponing marriage and motherhood, women have accelerated the aging process, resulting in earlier menopause and, ultimately for thousands, earlier death. In Sex, Lies, and Menopause, T.S. Wiley, Julie Taguchi, M.D., and Bent Formby, Ph.D., turn thirty years of medical and cultural wisdom on its head, challenging both the medical establishment and modern feminists who believe women can delay childbearing that menopause, a natural state of female maturity, does not have to lead to potentially deadly medical conditions. Sex, Lies, and Menopause offers strong evidence that the use of synthetic hormones leads to cancer and advises women to turn to natural hormone replacement therapy -- derived from plants, not drugs -- to help them elevate their estrogen level for greater energy, libido, and intellectual capacity. A groundbreaking effort of creative insight and astute research, this book fearlessly tackles one of the greatest health crises facing American women today. Provocative, empowering, and scientifically sound, Sex, Lies, and Menopause addresses the inherent benefits of natural progesterone, reveals the lies advanced by the medical and drug establishments, and challenges women to demand a medical future where their health comes first. The research presented here will at last allow women to create their own plan of action by safely putting themselves on the path to better health and hormonal balance at any stage of life.

 One for the Alternative Medicine Hall of Shame September 21, 2008
As a physician, I can tell you that Wiley's logic is poor, that her references to the scientific literature are often incorrect, and that she makes completely unfounded assumptions as to the safety of her method.
Further, I have treated about ten women who tried the Wiley protocol through other physicians and found it, after a few months, to be worse than useless.
This woman presents herself quite dangerously as a medical authority. Do not take this book seriously.
 Women of all ages....Listen up!!! October 28, 2007
This could be one of the most important books you will ever read! I would suggest every woman read it, read it again and read it again until you understand it...it is quite complicated and in depth, but could help you save your own life...then take what you learn with you to your own Doctor and you will be quite shocked how little "they" know about "your" body. You will have to do the work here. When you discover the lies women have been told about everything from "biological clocks" to "menopause is just a natural stage we go through" you will be outraged! I will never again be the same after reading this book . That is how profoundly it has changed my life. Yes, some of the advice is very hard to follow in todays world, but at least you will be armed with the "truth" and nothing but good can come out of that...Please, please I implore every woman to read this book..when you actually get to menopause you will wish you had had this book years earlier. I cannot stress enough how it is not just for women in menopause, but for every female. This is what you always "knew in you gut" to be true. The depth of this work is mind blowing. We owe these people who did all this research a huge THANK YOU !!
Poorly done October 17, 2005

While purporting to expose "the shocking truth about hormone replacement therapy," Sex, Lies, and Menopause is poorly written, even incoherent at times, and only adds to the confusion about HRT. The book is poorly researched, hard to read and contains glaring inaccuracies. In short, I found this book a real disappointment, especially during such a trying time in a woman's life.
Menopause...do your research!!!!! July 21, 2005

Ladies....how many of your friends have been diagnosed with cancer...how many of your daughters take birth control pills...female cancer is an deadly epidemic and this book will tell you why it has happened and what to do.
Ms Wiley has written a great book on the overview of the BIG LIE that American medicine has (and still is) telling women.Any Dr who suggests synthetic hormones has NO CLUE and you need to RUN out of his/her office. Each woman has a different menopausal experience and if yours is not good then read Wiley's book and Dr Uzzi Reiss's book "Natural Hormone Balance for Women".
I had read over 20 books and knew I needed help, but had difficulty finding a Dr who was more interested in fixing my health than endangering it with HRT. If you want to find a Dr who can really help and prescribe just for your needs, contact the Women's International Pharmacy...go to Google and type it in...they are GREAT...they will send a list of physicians in your state who work with women to re-establish health and balance...women who have no problems with menopause have had low estrogen levels all their lives, so the loss is not as great and the symptoms are minimal.
Do yourself a favor....if you KNOW you are not yourself and are tired of feeling all the odd things menopause brings...take control of your health..find a proper Dr., do saliva tests,hair analysis,and blood tests and find out what is causing your problems! It is not an easy fix, but you will find out what your body needs to feel good again and not endanger your life...you can greatly improve the quality of your life and possibly save your daughters from real danger as they age as well. GOOD LUCK!

Great book that helped me go for bioidentical hormones. I've now been on them six months and plan to say on them as I feel young and sexy. Before reading this I knew that the horse-derived pharmaceuticals were a problem. Wiley also let me know that diet changes using soy aren't the answer. I'd give this book 5 stars except for the weird chapter titles. Couldn't figure out what they meant. But otherwise the book is clear and makes its point well.
